I would not lead you willingly astray,

But as regards this science, you will find

So hard it is to shun the erring way,

And so much hidden poison lies therein

Which scarce can you discern from medicine.

And by the master's words to swear alone.

To sum up all—To words hold fast!

Then the safe gate securely pass'd,

You'll reach the fane of certainty at last.
